Caught up now and a tip do NOT do every side quest especially at the start yes they sometimes offer gear needed but most are just "hey this is how you emote this is how you chat type stuff. It is one reason many don't get into combat at first. Generally I just seethe aetheryte(teleport stone) my class master(do his quest then get a thing called hunt logs and do those) and the store..ALL of that is your very first story quest.
And yes we get class quests every 5 levels(every 2 in heavensward) with their own story and lore.
Also outside of making an aura their is no reason to have heavensward right off the bat(I often recommend at 49 due to the extra xp) due to classes being in expansion content only.
All in all I feel like it takes what wow did and refines it. I recently moved to jenova(cheaper then wow AND lets me move ALL from one server to another with one payment) I will be happy to help.
Oh and you do get sub bonuses like glamor(transmog) items, pets even a free race change potion for your first month.
